• Where will you conduct this experiment? If not at school where are you going to put your experiment so that it doesn't bother anyone, you can assure it won't be disrupted by pets or babies, and it it will be safe from changes in temperature or movement? i am going to do this expirement at my house and in my kitchen

• What will you actually be doing? For example, measuring something, timing something... i will time the time it takes different ice shapes to melt

• What are some potential problems you may encounter and how will you solve them?

• What are the safety and environmental concerns?

Title

icemelting

Problem Scenario

i want to know if the different shape of ice changes the melting time

Broad Question

do different liquid ice melt at different times?

Specific Question

how does the different liquids used to make ice impact the melting time?

Hypothesis

the saltwater ice cube will melt fastest because it is most dense

Graph of Hypothesis

Variables

Independent Variable:

different liquids

Dependent Variable:

melting time

Variables That Need To Be Controlled:

the normal water ice cube

General Plan
I am going to start freezeing the ice on March 1st. I will let it freeze until the 3rd. Melt it that night and record data.

Resources and Budget Table

Item	Number needed	Where I will get this	Cost
water		my sink	0$
ice trays	4	walmart	2$
stop watch	1	my house	0$
salt water
Apple Juice	cup	Hannaford	$1
OJ	cup	Hannaford	$1

Detailed Procedure
1)Grab a ice tray
2)Fill them with 15ML of liquid all the way to the top
3)Put them in the freezer for a day
4)Take them out the next day and time the it takes to melt
5)Collect data

Data Table
When we froze the ice the oj ice cube stayed alittle sticky
At 5 minutes and 37 seconds the salt water started to melt
At 6 minutes and 49 seconds the OJ started to melt
At 7 minutes and 31 secondsthe Apple Juice stared to melt
At 8 minutes and 4 seconds the water started to melt
At 9 minutes and 32 seconds the OJ started to shrink in size
At 11 minutes and 35 seconds the Apple Juice started to become deformed
At 12 minutes and 21 seconds salt began to fall out of the ice cube
Everything made big puddles except Apple Juice at 21 minutes and 41 seconds

Results

The Apple Juice ended up melting the fastest. Then it went Water, then OJ, and last Salt Water
Conclusion
My hypothisis ended up being very wrong. I thought that the salt water was going to melt the fastest because it is the middle of the denseity numbers messured in kg/lt. That ended up being the longestmelting liquid.
Discussion
For my project i wanted to find out which liquid ice cube melted the fastest. What i did was froze water salt water apple juice and orange juice for 2 days melted them and then collected data. My hypothesis was that the salt water was going to melt first because that usually salt melts ice any way.

Conclusion

My hypothesis was very wrong for my science experiment. I thought that salt water was going to melt first, then the apple juice, orange juice, and last water. What I did for this experiment was I froze different liquids and melted them to record data. The salt water actually ended up melting last then, orange juice, water, last apple juice.

Abstract

For my project i was trying to find out if different liquids affect the melting time. My hypothesis was that the salt water was going to melt first because salt actually melts ice usually. Not in this case the salt water ended up melting in the longest time. It took two hours forty two minutes and 57 seconds. The apple juice ended up melting the fastest at one hour thirty minutes and two seconds then it was the water melting at one hour forty nine minutes and 23 seconds.
